do not fit Ultralows to your new STi.

they'll have a negative effect on handling and ride quality will suffer dramatically due to the short travel of the shockies, which will wear out very quickly. save for coilovers!

I think I have ultralows on my ride. Bumpy as hell but I wouldn't say in any way that it had a negative effect on my handling.
If you want it lower go coilovers, the bumpy ride dosen't bother me to much so I am happy with mine.

Nah, the guy who does it in Perth is fucking hopeless to deal with. You can get custom made K-Mac's, but they are fucked too.

Pretty sure you can't get Ultra Low's for the GD's?

You can get Ultra Lows for GDs....Adz had them in his bug eye (now Tara's bug eye).

They handle and look great, but Koni shocks were required....the stock ones will disintegrate with those springs!

Exactly.

The GC's come in Lows and Super Lows....

The GD's come in Low, Super Lows then Ultra Lows....

It'll handle like shit without matched struts mate.... so just save your money.

You can get Ultra Low's for the GC, or at least used to be able to. Mate had them for a while - worked fine with stock struts.
